No idea what version I have. Can't get to HELP on the app. I know it's recent.
Attachment shows what I get when I open TB using desktop icon or Windows key and typing Thunderbird.
OK, can't find how to ass attachment. TB - full screen - consists of a completely black screen except top left. That area is
File Edit View Go. Below that is the Inbox icon and the word "Inbox." Below that - "Get messages." That's it.
Once I get the strange screen, I have to C]RL-ALT-DEL to kill all instances - usually 4.
Doesn't always do that. But, when is starts, I suffer through this for 4-8 hours.
How do I open TB?
Almost blank screen on open

Try holding down the shift key when launching it. That put it into a safe mode meant for debugging (disables all add-ons, disables hw acceleration, disables JIT compiler etc.)

Does that mean from now on or just as a test?

Just for troubleshooting.
